Enigma Pour Femme

Enigma Pour Femme by Roja Parfums is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, lemon and mandarin, moves into geranium, rose de mai, neroli, jasmine, ylang-ylang and heliotrope and dries down to patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, iris, ambergris and musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.

Heart

Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Rose de Mai Softer, honeyed May rose. Expensive and unmistakably natural.
Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.

Dry-down

Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
